Table Football as a sport

A sport for everyone!

> For over 50 years now, table football has been one of the most widely-played and popular pastimes.
It's also a sport, and one that is played on every continent. Official bodies such as the FFFT and the ITSF are helping to bring the sport of table football to an ever-expanding audience by organising national and international competitions.

You'll be astonished to see literally hundreds of players demonstrating a very high level of sporting and artistic mastery.
